Ich hatte den ARDNAHOE - Infinite Loch im Glas.

My wife got my an early birthday present - a barrel from my favorite whiskey distillery. I sit outside now, drinking my morning coffee, and the aroma just fills the air. Love it. #photography #whiskey
@gerd ... nein, da muss ich widersprechen. #unplugtrump sollte (wenn überhaupt sinnvoll) nur (amerikanischen) #Whiskey - aber (praktisch fast) keinen #Whisky betreffen - dazu ein Zitat von https://www.whisky.de/whisky-whiskey.html:
"Kurze Regel zur Schreibweise
Whisky: Schottland, Kanada, Deutschland, Japan
Whiskey: Irland, USA:
Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel: Einige US-Marken wie Maker's Mark oder George Dickel schreiben ihren Whiskey bewusst ohne 'e'."

#Trump will cause #TrumpSlumber in the #USA by his #tariffs . In #Germany and #Europe shops start to focus on #europeanalternatives and don’t sell american products anymore. Just like this wine shop.
The sign is telling „here you could find Bourbon #Whiskey from #america . We won‘t offer it anymore for the time being.“

Unmut in Kentucky über Trumps Handelspolitik
Kentucky ist politisch eigentlich fest in der Hand der Republikaner. Doch auf Trumps Zollpolitik sind viele dort nicht besonders gut zu sprechen. Bei Whiskeybrennern und Farmern wächst der Unmut. Von Sebastian Hesse.
But wait, there's more!
I managed to pick up WhistlePig The Encyclopedia of Rye - Volume 2 for a fantastic price.
Volume 2? What about Volume 1? I had that too, for a similarly fantastic price, until I got sniped. That's how I learned the hard way that Whisky Auctioneer ends their auctions at midnight, even if bids are still being made.
They have sniping protection that is supposed to extend the auction a few minutes every time a new bid comes in, but there is an undocumented hard stop. I got outbid less than a minute to midnight and was in the process of upping my bid when the auction ended. I suspect the winner knew about this loophole, which I've since confirmed.
So now I'm still hunting for vol.1. I've seen it on sale in the US, but for stupid high prices.
Anyway... Then there were some random bottles. Starting off with a couple of different bottlings of the Mortlach 16 Flora & Fauna. Due to a misunderstanding, I picked up a few of these. I now have three, so I'll probably send a couple on to auction myself.
I also picked up several grain whiskies. I love those and they're often overlooked. The North British 1980 Cask Strength was originally only available to employees of the distillery. I'm not sure the age on this one.
Another North British, this one 30 years, a Caidenhead Single Cask 43 year Invergordon and a Forgotten Gems 30 year Invergordon.
There was still more that arrived.
More Glenmorangie - Speakeasy bottle Cask 6813, three The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottlings: 125.4, 125.15, & 125.37, and then three sample bottles - Finealta, Signet, and the 18 year Extremely Rare.
There were also two from Ardbeg - 19 year Traigh Bahn #1 & #3.
I already had #4 - #2 is still in the UK with another auction house and #5 is with a friend in CT as it couldn't be shipped to MA. #6 I'm still on the hunt for. I've been picking these up at auction for well below MSRP.
I recently received many months worth of auction winnings that I'd been building up in storage. I'm glad I shipped them when I did, as now most of the auction houses have paused all shipments to the US while they figure out the tariff situation. I have other bottles still in the UK & EU and who knows when I'll be able to ship those - and if it'll cost me more now.
There was a bit of Compass Box - a Mariage Single Marrying Cask, an Eleuthera, The Peat Monster (second bottling I believe), The Peat Monster Reserve Edition magnum, the inaugural 2006 Flaming Heart release (the last one I was missing), Transistor, and The Promise Blend.
And then a bunch of Glenmorangie - three vintage releases from 1974, 1975, and 1979, The Culloden Bottle, 1990 Single Cask #5979 First-Fill Bourbon, 18 year White Rum finish, and Distillery Exclusive Cask 1784.
True to form, I feel pretty good sitting down and enjoying my #whiskey. But then I stand up and it’s like I can hear the Angels sighing. It hits hard and kinda all at once. Not an unwanted sensation. The best part about finding the whiskey that suits me is that I never have a hangover from it. On the contrary, I sleep really well and always feel great the day after. Vitamin J. Pretty much. Anyhow, the oven is preheating.
Und hier kommt der zehnte und letzte Teil unseres VLOGs vom USA Roadtrip durch die Rocky Mountain. Und so sehr wir das Land auch lieben, wenn die da politisch so weiter machen, fahren wir das nächste mal nach Canada oder Neuseeland.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat If you do live here and drink, I would strongly urge you to not purchase #RedState liquor like #Bourbon and #Whiskey--and even throw that shit in the trash like I did. I have found lots of #BlueState liquors that are excellent--even superior I would argue--to #RedState liquors. #ImNotGoingBack
Scotland, be brave. But tonight, for once, I'm treating myself to an Irish evening. Slánte!
